How Long, Oh Lord?

[1] Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me? [2] How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day? [3] How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? [4] Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death: [5] Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved: [6] But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

[1] Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one. [2] The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God. [3] They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes. [4] Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread? [5] They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.[6] For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope. [7] Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
